After a good night's sleep and a great breakfast, we set off at about 10am. The forecast for today was not good, with heavy rain and gale force winds. It was definitely windy, so much that walking in a straight line was impossible at times. Maybe picking a route along Standedge Edge and over White Hill wasn't the most sensible, but it was certainly exhilarating. It became quite unpleasant when the rain started just before we crossed the road at the aerial, so we decided to head down from there to Piethorne rather than going out to Hollingworth Lake as I'd had in mind to.
The off road vehicles had been out there recently and made a mess, but it has been dry enough lately that it was easy going.
The rain started getting heavier as we came over Brushes Clough, so we stayed low hoping to get a bit of shelter by the trees, and back along the track.
